Riddim Makers – Capra Records Overview
The one drop rhythm is a foundation of reggae music. Its steady drum pattern and deep bassline have shaped roots reggae since the 1970s. In 2023, this classic style saw a strong return with a new riddim release featuring several respected artists. Real Rockers are known in the reggae scene for their authentic sound. Their track "Block Party" brings lively energy, while "Cradle Of Mankind" offers a thoughtful vibe. Mystical Powa, who has worked with international reggae acts in the past, adds "No Border," a song that speaks to unity. Dennis Capra, a producer and singer with a history of roots reggae projects, stands out with three songs: "Hot Pot," "Richman & Poorman," and "Roosevelt's New Deal." Each track carries a message, connecting to both tradition and current times. The Mighty Millers contribute the song "Father," which continues their roots influence. Ray P, known for his solid vocal delivery, brings "Warrior Style" to the mix. Instrumental and dub fans will notice "Sodoma & Gomorra" by Dub Tree and "Himba Tribe" by Baodub, both adding deep, atmospheric layers to the riddim.
